Testimonials

We booked my 84 year old mother into Nowton Court Village mid-February for convalescence following a broken pelvis just before Christmas. Due to the kindness and attention given to her during her stay she went home two weeks later a new woman walking without a frame and with a regained confidence. In fact her stay was so successful we are just completing on the purchase of one of the luxury retirement apartments, The Grange, located in the beautiful grounds. She cannot wait to start this new chapter of her life having independent living but with the benefit of the Manor House facilities being just a step away from Rosemary and her fantastic caring team for which nothing is too much trouble. I would not hesitate in recommending.

My mother has been living in the Nowton Court retirement village for the past 4 years. She has an apartment in the independent living section known as The Grange, but is able to use all the facilities of the manor house. This includes a dining room where she can order a good lunch, a Wellbeing centre, and access to all the activities that are organised each week such as Tai Chi, art therapy, games afternoons and so on.

The manor house is decorated beautifully, with lovely lounges for relaxation and a well stocked library. The grounds are well maintained, and being right on the edge of Nowton Park it’s easy to get out into the country.

I feel very happy that my mother has found such a lovely place to live, with caring people who are available 24 hours a day. I have found the management to be very understanding and responsive to her needs.

My mother stayed here in July following an operation and found it an ideal retreat in beautiful grounds with caring, friendly staff. She had also stayed here last year and felt it was the perfect place to rest and recuperate.

I stayed for a period of 5 weeks for convalescence following a major operation. The room I had was a very good size with an adjustable bed, reclining chair, T.V. tea making facilities, and a modern en-suite with a wet room all of which was extremely comfortable. The staff were very attentive, courteous and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I had a very pleasant stay in wonderful, peaceful surroundings which certainly made me have a speedy recovery.

I would just like to say a big thank you and all the staff for the very hard work displayed. A most warm welcome was received. Nothing was too much trouble and we were appreciative of the attention we received. My sincere thanks. Magnificent job!.

Thank you all very much for the care and kindness shown to me during my recent visit. Thanks especially to the Kitchen who coped with patience, my picky attitude towards food. Happy Christmas to you all.

Thank you so much for making our stay so comfortable. Everyone has been extremely helpful and anything we needed was very promptly supplied. I am grateful to have had a break from cooking and staying here has made the transition from hospital to home much easier.

My husband came to Nowton Court Village after spending 5 weeks in hospital. I did not feel he was moving forward so i booked him into Nowton Court Village. I also stayed and because i had no worries about shopping, cooking, etc; i could help him improve. This is an ideal place to recuperate and have extra service i.e. washing done, rooms cleaned and choice of food. The views are beautiful as the building stands within Nowton Park and there is widlife to watch from every window. I would recommend Nowton Court Village for anyone requiring a peaceful place to recover and regain strength.

I am feeling much better than recently and i have been looked after very well. I feel quite able to take up where i was for many months, before i was ill. Thank you for the care i have received and hopefully i shall be back home, which i am really looking forward to.

A big thank you to you and all of the staff at Nowton for making the past few weeks so comfortable for my mum. Whilst it wasn’t her home, it was safe, relaxing and homely. She could see the lovely gardens and hear birds singing.

It was a huge comfort to me knowing that people were there and looking in on her, bringing her drinks, meals and the favourite Lemon Drizzle cake.

I would formally like to thank you Rosemary (Manager) and all the staff for everything you have done. Without your support Dad would not be as fit and well as he is, and indeed the whole family have benefitted from your support over these recent months. All of us really appreciate all that you have done.

There is a high level of care and kindness from the committed staff who work at Nowton Court. They have the well-being of their clients at the utmost and always try to sort out issues quickly and efficiently.

G.W. – August 2017

I only stayed a week, it was excellent. All the staff looked after me all the time and i had excellent meals all week. When i’m next in hospital i would love to come to you again. I will let you know when i will be available to come back, possibly for a longer time.

P.L – August 2017

I booked in as a visitor in order to visit my wife in a nearby nursing home. The building was magnificent, the staff friendly and helpful and the room excellent and the food fine. I was called away prematurely, but would certainly visit again.

I would like to thank you all most sincerely for your care and expertise during my stay at Nowton Court for the last two weeks.

When i arrived i was in considerable pain, caused by a fall damaging my ribs. Movement was difficult and breathing was rather spasmodic.

From the beginning i was given a warm welcome by all the staff.

The concierges were all excellent. Special thanks to Matt who attended to small problems concerning lighting, heating and television reception. He was even able to fix my computer and ensured that my newspapers were delivered!.

The catering staff were all very good, producing healthy meals, beautifully presented.

The cleaning staff also helped in making my stay enjoyable.

I left yesterday, after two weeks, feeling refreshed and reasonably pain free. I was assured that if i needed to return, i would be welcome.

My mother was an elderly resident at Nowton Court during the last 5 years of her life. This provided her with the privacy she had been used to in her own home; yet always someone on hand to talk to her at anytime during night or day. She enjoyed her chauffeur driven trips into town; overseen by a caring Concierge. The staff were very responsive, supportive, kind and helpful.

My mother was a watercolour artist in Scotland, and she was able to continue with her enjoyment of this, using the wonderful Library area. She loved the peace and quiet of a comfortable corner, all to herself, in one of the many splendid Sitting Rooms. The surrounding park & gardens gave her much pleasure, as did keeping the bird table well supplied.

The home cooking was of a high stand and Chef catered for her individual needs. After her funeral, we held her celebration of life at Nowton Court, with excellent organisation from the management. It was so successful, that we hope to hold a private event there.

I was so pleased with her stay… Mum and i were both very vulnerable in the circumstance of both her illness and her lifesaving surgery. So to be met with such kindness and attention to detail while we were at a such a difficult time was amazing. Words cannot express just how grateful i was to have had your support and personal attention. A friendly face and a smile was what we needed most and that was given by all of you.

My mum is now doing amazing…. nearly 9 stone! and she was 6 stone 10 after her operation. Thank you again.

I came to Nowton Court Village from hospital having had a triple by-pass. I stayed for two weeks as i needed complete rest and care. I am over 80 and live alone. The care here is excellent and i cannot fault anything. They even called the paramedics when my leg started bleeding and i had excellent attention. Its is an extremely good place to receive help when needed.

I have been so impressed with the care my father has received and is receiving at Nowton Court Village. He is improving daily. Nothing is too much trouble and the staff really do care. I would love to stay here myself!

Thank you so much for all you did for my aunt on her recent stay with you. We so appreciated your kindness, care and thoughtfulness – it made a difficult time for her so much more bearable. She is continuing to recover well and i miss my visits to such an idyllic setting

Came to Nowton Court following a serious illness in hospital. Found all staff very kind, helpful and will to put themselves out for my mother.

Unfortunately, we have to move my mother to a Nursing Home rather than ‘Assisted Living’ but i have no qualms about recommending this lovely place to anyone who needs canvalescing. Thanks a million to you all.

My mother was in desperate need of respite. She is in her 80’s now and has been a full-time carer for 18 years. She was nervous about being a strange place but the staff were fantastic. The house is fabulous and my mum’s room comfortable and cosy. My mother particularly recommended the food, in fact, she returned to Nowton Court Village for a second visit!.

The house is incredibly peaceful and i would highly recommend for rest and recuperation. Thank you to all the staff for taking care of my mother.

I thought the gardens were beautiful and very relaxing. It made me feel very comfortable. The food was also wonderful, overall a lovely dining experience. The staff were always very warm and always ready to help no matter the problem – a real credit to the company.

The standard of care is excellent. Had a large room with lovely outlook. Food and the variety of dishes were excellent. Cleaning staff and ladies who served the meals and concierge, were all very good.

My mother came to Nowton when her ability to live independently became difficult. Nowton Court was a perfect step from home to assisted living. Everyone at Nowton Court welcomed her warmly and looked after her needs with dignity, compassion as well as good humour. Nowton Court operates very efficiently and professionally, but no-one ever forgets it is the resident’s home from home.

I stayed here for postoperative care after a hip replacement. It was perfect. I could choose the level of care i needed but i knew someone was on call if necessary. Being independent, i liked to recover in my own time and Nowton Court allowed me to do this whilst always being there as a ‘safety net’. Lovely building excellent facilities, beautiful grounds and i felt safe and nurtured and it certainly aided my recover. I would highly recommend as a place to heal. Lovely people.

On arrival to Nowton Court after a hip replacement. I was welcomed by 2 members of staff and taken to my room. My room was much more than adequate, it had a huge garden facing window (south) with sun most of the day and was much larger than i anticipated. The room was so well equipped for my needs – rise/fall bed and chair, a shower seat and toilet riser. My overall impression was 5 star. The staff could not do enough for me. I am eternally grateful.
